  • (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and Its Role in the Cultural Life of Perth
    The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. Patricia Kotai-Ewers Bachelor of Arts, Master of Philosophy (UWA) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University November 2013 ABSTRACT The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. By the mid-1930s, a group of distinctly Western Australian writers was emerging, dedicated to their own writing careers and the promotion of Australian literature. In 1938, they founded the Western Australian Section of the Fellowship of Australian Writers. This first detailed study of the activities of the Fellowship in Western Australia explores its contribution to the development of Australian literature in this State between 1938 and 1980. In particular, this analysis identifies the degree to which the Fellowship supported and encouraged individual writers, promoted and celebrated Australian writers and their works, through publications, readings, talks and other activities, and assesses the success of its advocacy for writers’ professional interests. Information came from the organisation’s archives for this period; the personal papers, biographies, autobiographies and writings of writers involved; general histories of Australian literature and cultural life; and interviews with current members of the Fellowship in Western Australia. These sources showed the early writers utilising the networks they developed within a small, isolated society to build a creative community, which welcomed artists and musicians as well as writers. The Fellowship lobbied for a wide raft of conditions that concerned writers, including free children’s libraries, better rates of payment and the establishment of the Australian Society of Authors.

  • City Continues Fight for Independence Underground Power Project Nears
    Issue No. 166 • April 2013 Keeping the community i nformed City continues fight for independence t its March meeting, council rejected the report prepared on behalf of the group of A twenty metropolitan local governments (the G20) that recommends consolidating the seven western suburbs local governments into one. The City of Subiaco does not support a reduction of local governments to any specific number and has expressed a strong desire for the city to remain an independent and autonomous local government. The city will continue to advocate for voluntary amalgamations, through the poll provisions in the Dadour Amendment, to ensure the community is able to decide on the structure of local government. If forced amalgamations were to occur, council endorsed a proposal to reduce the number of local governments in the western suburbs from seven to three, based on the centres of Subiaco, Claremont and Cambridge. This achieves the city’s aim of remaining an independent local government, while still meeting the aims of the state government in reducing the number of local governments in the metropolitan area. For the latest information on local government amalgamations, visit the ‘local government reform’ page on the city’s website www.subiaco.wa.gov.au Underground power project nears completion ouncil recently decided to allocate $4.5 million to complete the C undergrounding of power to homes between Onslow and Aberdare roads in Shenton Park. Works are expected to take place towards the end of the 2012–13 financial year and, once complete, it will mean all streets in the City of Subiaco will have underground power.

  • The Inaugural Laki Jayasuriya Oration the Hon
    The Inaugural Laki Jayasuriya Oration The Hon. Geoff Gallop AC FIPAA Tuesday 10 March 2020 Foreword The UWA Public Policy Institute exists to inform and illuminate public debate. The Inaugural Jayasuriya Oration does that by addressing the question of Australian multiculturalism. The multiculturalist creed grew out of the need to pull together Indigenous, Anglo- Celt and migrant Australias, notes Geoff Gallop in his Oration. The conversation is about how each can nourish larger Australian identity, he argues, highlighting many of the dilemmas and tensions that are at stake in how Australia is governed and sees itself. The Oration skilfully navigates these debates through the life of Laksiri (Laki) Professor Shamit Saggar CBE FAcSS Jayasuriya. Laki (1931-2018), whom I first encountered in the early 1990s as a visitor Director, UWA Public Policy Institute from London, was deeply involved in researching the issues that underpinned the nation’s changing ethnic and religious character, and he was equally committed in policy, advocacy and advisory circles. His contribution was to lay the path for political leaders to tackle these issues when many would have preferred to relegate them to the periphery. How should we think about multiculturalism in Australia today? Geoff Gallop’s argument rests on the pursuit of democratic pluralism so that many perspectives are heard and serve to nourish the goal of consensus, or unity as many would see it. Achieving unity out of diversity is a complex challenge that governments struggle with across the world. The stakes have grown considerably as anti-immigrant and anti-minority sentiment has grown, and as separatist and self-segregationist tendencies have emerged among settled migrant communities.

  • 'My Country's Heart Is in the Market Place':1
    ‘My country’s heart is in the market place’: 1 Tom Stannage interviewed by Peter Read TIFFANY SHELLAM AND JOANNA SASSOON ollective memories within small communities have been shaped over generations to winnow out stories that they would rather C silence. Through this process communities come to a consensus about a version of the past with which they can comfortably live. These agreed historical stories, which are shaped by social and community forces, show the strength of the warp and weft which interweaves past and present. Yet it is important to understand how a community comes to shape these agreed historical stories. Tom Stannage was one among many historians in the 1970s uncovering histories of Australia which were to challenge national narratives and community memories. In 1971, Tom returned to Western Australia after writing his PhD in Cambridge with the passion to write Public History Review Vol 20 (2013): 94–103 © UTSePress and the authors ISSN: 1833-4989 Public History Review | Shellam & Sassoon urban history and an understanding that in order to do so, he needed an emotional engagement with place. What he had yet to realize was the power of community memories in Western Australia to shape and preserve ideas about their place. As part of his research on the history of Perth, Tom saw how the written histories of Western Australia had been shaped by community mythologies – in particular that of the rural pioneer. He identified the consensus or ‘gentry tradition’ in Western Australian writing and named those he saw as its chief purveyors – the historian and State Librarian Dr James Skyes Battye and Professors Frank Crowley and Geoffrey Bolton.

  • “A Veritable Augustus”: the Life of John Winthrop Hackett, Newspaper
    “A Veritable Augustus”: The Life of John Winthrop Hackett, Newspaper Proprietor, Politician and Philanthropist (1848-1916) by Alexander Collins B.A., Grad.Dip.Loc.Hist., MSc. Presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University March 2007 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been previously submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ……………………….. Alexander Collins ABSTRACT Irish-born Sir John Winthrop Hackett was a man of restless energy who achieved substantial political authority and social standing by means of the power gained through his editorship and part-ownership of the West Australian newspaper and his position in parliament. He was a man with a mission who intended to be a successful businessman, sought to provide a range of cultural facilities and, finally, was the moving force in establishing a tertiary educational institution for the people of Western Australia. This thesis will argue that whatever Hackett attempted to achieve in Western Australia, his philosophy can be attributed to his Irish Protestant background including his student days at Trinity College Dublin. After arriving in Australia in 1875 and teaching at Trinity College Melbourne until 1882, his ambitions took him to Western Australia where he aspired to be accepted and recognised by the local establishment. He was determined that his achievements would not only be acknowledged by his contemporaries, but also just as importantly be remembered in posterity. After a failed attempt to run a sheep station, he found success as part-owner and editor of the West Australian newspaper.
